Doc RTW-001 Rev 0.1 Issued Aug 2026 Status Launch beta

01The argument

Recording the job takes as long as doing the job.

You already knew you should write your procedures down. You were also right that it was too expensive to bother: an afternoon of typing, per procedure, that nobody had. That was the only thing standing between you and a written SOP, and it is no longer true.

Record the next job you were going to do anyway. Any job. Opening a stuck pickle jar, or torquing the head bolts on the line. What comes back is the same either way: a document you would hand to an auditor.

You do the job. The AI watches, understands, and ghost-writes the procedure. Like any good ghost-writer, it takes none of the credit: your name is the one on the document.

01
You record

Point a phone at the job you were already going to do. Up to five minutes. Works with no signal.
02
It watches

Every word you say, every thing you do, and the exact second each one happened.
03
It understands

Works out where one step ends and the next begins, and which detail is the one that makes or breaks it.
04
It ghost-writes

The steps, the key point, and the reason behind it. You read it, sign your name, and take all the credit.

02The scan

The part nobody else does

Scan the step. Watch that second.

Tape the procedure to the wall. When someone is stuck on step six, they scan step six and watch you do step six. No scrubbing a forty minute video. No hunting down the one person who knows.

03The document

Not a mockup

This came out of the tool.

One minute and twenty-one seconds of somebody reassembling a head, recorded on a phone. Nobody typed the steps, cropped the screenshots, or laid out the page. The only human decisions were the torque value the video never stated, and the signature at the end.

A two-minute recording of how you get the stockroom door unstuck comes back looking exactly like this. That is the point.

Page one of a generated standard operating
procedure: nine numbered steps, each with a screenshot from the video, a key point,
the reason behind it, and a QR code.

Every step has a frame pulled from the moment it happens, not a stock photo.

Key point and reason on the steps that have one. The knack, and why it matters.

A QR per step that opens the video at that second.

Your logo, your document number, your revision.

04The alternative

Why it never gets written

Everything else asks someone to sit down and type.

Writing it: Hours of typing, so it stays on the list forever.
A raw video: Nobody watches forty minutes to find the one step they need.
A transcript: A wall of talking is not a procedure. There is no order, no check, no proof.
A template pack: A blank form is still a blank form.
RecordTheWork: Three minutes of doing becomes a signed document with pictures.

06What you get

What lands, every time

A document you would hand to an auditor.

Even when the job was opening a pickle jar. The output does not get scruffier because the task was small.

A branded PDF and Word file with your logo on it
Numbered steps with a screenshot on each one
The key point and the reason, not just the click

A signed, dated revision. The old one is kept, never overwritten
An open questions list for anything the video did not show
A QR on every step, revocable in one tap if you change your mind

07Accessory

Need an extra arm?

We've got that.

The one thing that actually stops people recording is that both their hands are busy. You cannot do the job and hold the phone. So point the phone at the job and forget it is there.

Fig. 3 Clamps to any bench up to 2 in thick

The Overhead Arm

22 in of reach on a friction boom, so the phone sits over the work instead of beside it
Three ball heads, point it straight down at the bench, or straight at your hands
Holds any phone up to 17.6 oz, plus action cams and webcams on 1/4 in and 3/8 in threads
Clamps to the bench. No tripod in the walkway, nothing to knock over

$50One-off. No subscription, nothing to renew.

Ask for one

Ships with the beta. Not required, any phone propped against a toolbox records perfectly well.

08Pricing

Pricing

Your first ten videos are free.

You do have to create an account first. Not to capture a lead: every video costs us real compute to process, and without a sign-in, bots would burn through it.

After the ten, there is one plan. We kept it deliberately simple.

09Limits

Straight answers

What it does not do yet.

Procedures are capped at five minutes on purpose.

Long videos make bad procedures. We nudge you toward three, and we would rather you split a big job into a few short recordings than send one long one.

It will not invent a step it did not see.

If the audio is unusable you get told that, not a confident document full of guesses. Anything the footage did not show goes to an open questions list for a human to answer.

It is in launch beta.

Free for a small number of companies while we build it with them. That is the honest status, not a scarcity tactic.
